But that's only because times have changed. Twenty years ago there was no print on demand, there was not Createspace or Lulu, there certainly weren't any e-books or e-book publishers. There wasn't even PDF. <br /><br />All of these things have made it possible to do for free what once cost $10,000. <br /><br />Perhaps paying for marketing can make a difference, but the money better be well spent and well thought out. It's pretty easy to throw money away if you market to the wrong people. But even then, writers are lucky to make their investments back. Publishers don't break even a lot of times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454406837183787620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891001968149686306.post-17706837293939544472012-01-09T17:13:28.282-06:002012-01-09T17:13:28.282-06:00I always think that to start with self publishing ...I always think that to start with self publishing would need a greater capital but looking at how Roy did it with our book through a publisher, I'm really not sure how it goes. I'm not sure if there is a definite criteria for publications.<br /><br />I hope to be more enlightened on this matter ;)Melissa Tandochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747825707650125721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891001968149686306.post-65163219978429564562011-12-30T10:38:05.234-06:002011-12-30T10:38:05.234-06:00Thank you, Jan!Thank you, Jan!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454406837183787620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891001968149686306.post-54914903065434596532011-12-30T01:58:16.790-06:002011-12-30T01:58:16.790-06:00This is a great post, very informative and easy to...This is a great post, very informative and easy to read.
